This loom-made rug by Paulina Herrera for Mariantonia is executed with techniques traditional to this part of Sardinia and abstractly interprets a prickly pear branch in striking black, white and red. The designer Paulina Herrera creates an image that emerges from the fabric and evokes the roughness of the fruit's thorns in contrast with the soft base of the rug.
